It displays recent progress both in data  recovery and reconstructions of historical tsunamis and in detail  examination of recent disasters. It shows the tsunami community using  both traditional methods of data gathering - searching archives and  attempting to simulate past events - and integrating modern  technologies - side-scan sonar, GPS, global communications,  supercomputers - in the quest to understand tsunamis and improve  mankind's ability to mitigate the disastrous consequences of these  unpredictable and unstoppable events. It chronicles recent advances in  mitigation efforts while illuminating the continuing need for  increased efforts. The papers range from descriptive texts for the  non-specialists to fairly technical discussions for those familiar  with tsunami research. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e This book will be of interest to researchers and  graduate students involved in natural hazards research, physical  oceanography, seismology, environmental impact assessment and risk  assessment.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 December 2001\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781402002038\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e282\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803358138508,"sku":"9781402002038","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402002038.jpg?v=1781750974","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781402002038","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
